REVIEW: Life With Archie, #36

"Life With Archie" #36 by Paul Kupperberg, Pat Kennedy and Tim Kennedy tells an incredibly optimistic and uplifting story that gives way to one of comics' most emotionally powerful and poignant death scenes.

Can't say I found it "one of comics' most emotionally powerful and poignant death scenes." Struck me as clumsy, heavy-handed and almost laughable. Did like the ambiguity of his dying sentiments, but that's about the best I could say for it.

I agree, this event didn't live up to the hype. Congrats to Archie for really putting the story out there, but it fell flat. I'm probably not buying the Ross cover to #37.

Also, was it just me, or were all the important pages already shown everywhere? I swear we were treated to the final 5-6 pages days before the book came out.
